Lawlight Week Day 2: Soulmates
If you saw me repost and re-edit this several times uh No you didn't </3

We're drawing the idiots with traditional clothing from our countries? hell yeah, here's stobotnik as Argentinian gauchos!
Plus a very normal and not at all unhinged rant about mate (the thing they're drinking) in the tags.
#stobotnik#agent stone#doctor ivo robotnik#sonic movie universe#took some liberties because i wanted to keep their colors but yeah#now hear me out i've got a little ramble about that little thing they're drinking#so that's mate#so what's that? it's basically a hot drink similar to a tea but drank in a very special way#made with the yerba mate plant (contains caffeine so perfect for robotnik)#now the way this work is you pass on that little container thing (also called mate because why the hell not)#to whoever many people there are there#but there's only one person pouring the mate#so it always returns to them before they refill it with water to give to the next person#drinking mate when it is your turn doesn't take more than a couple minutes since it's not that much water because the dried yerba mate is#there. the person pouring the water also changes the yerba or adds sugar as needed#when preparing the first mate the person pouring it has to drink it#it's polite because usually the first one tastes awful so you know they take one for the team#i think obviously stone would be the one pouring the mate but since it's a constant thing he can't just give it to rob and leave#he has to be there and actually drink himself to know when to change the yerba#so you know. community. it's a very social thing#BUT THAT'S NOT ALL#there's a sort of mate language at play here#we all know it but i've never seen anyone actually use it#thing is depending on how the mate is prepared it can mean things#like if it's cold it's a way to say get the hell out#if it's sweet it means i love you#if it's very hot it means the person serving it is angry etc#stone would so do that to be passive aggressive towards other people#rob is like wdym? stone's mates are always great#also obviously we don't see it that way but if you want to get silly about it they're indirectly kissing

He was about to kill you, Lex. Or divulge something you didn't want me to know.
— SMALLVILLE, "Forever" (4.21)
+ bonus from "Arctic" (7.20):
#smallville#smallvilleedit#svedit#lex luthor#jason teague#lionel luthor#clark isn't in these scenes but they're still very much#clex#sv 4x21#sv 7x20#dcmultiverse#my gifs#'why can't you see what's right in front of your face lex?' god. god. godddd.#I think there's a really interesting discussion to be had (with many potential viewpoints)#re: to what extent lex actually knew the truth either consciously or subconsciously at any particular time#and how much he was just in denial about it (and why)#I'm not really prepared to have that discussion in these tags but like#let's face it - lex figured out that clark had powers all the way back in 1x12#just because clark convinced him he was wrong at the time doesn't mean he just forgot that whole thing#and yet it seemed like the more seasons went on and the more obvious the truth became#especially the fact that clark was so heavily tied to all the alien weirdness of smallville#the more lex seemed to (subconsciously?) push back against accepting or recognizing that truth#I mean that's literally what he's doing in the 4x21 scene with jason#so it's like he both desperately wanted to know clark's secret but also didn't want to know at all#and that's just SO interesting#I mean jesus the 7x20 scene is supposed to be peak evil lex and yet he STILL has to be pushed into accepting the truth#and he does so with his eyes glistening because yeah he wanted to know clark's secret once upon a time but he never wanted THIS#(remember when lex told jonathan in s1 that he just wanted clark to have a happy normal life bc clark was such a good person?#and then he's told in 7x20 that to save the world he has to KILL clark and take that life away from him hahaha [crying] it's fine I'm FINE)#wow I really said 'I'm not prepared to have this discussion' and then just. proceeded to have it anyway huh. lmao oops

Randomly consumed today by the thought of henghill cuddles, but like from a specific point in their relationship, like after they've only recently started laying in the same bed together.
It's something that takes them a long time to work up to; they both have nightmares, and yeah, Dan Heng is a Vidyadhara and he can heal himself beyond anything Boothill could accidentally do to him, but still. Boothill is made of metal now. He's heavy. It wouldn't take much, just a single flailing limb to cause some damage. He still gets up after Dan Heng falls asleep, and sneaks down into the guest cabin in one of the other cars.
But he'll lay in bed with Dan Heng until then. At first Boothill would always try to situate a blanket between them, because well. Metal isn't exactly pleasant to cuddle. But more and more lately, he's noticed Dan Heng keeps worming his way around their soft barrier and just kind of...rubbing his hand along him? Open palm up the curve of his side, across the planes of his chest, into the star-shape at his solar plexus, down the plates of his abdomen, back to his side again. Fingertips tap soundlessly against metal, or press into dents and divots, or smooth over old scars in the steel.
"Ya don't hav'ta do that, ya know."
"Does it bother you?"
Dan Heng's hand has already stopped, settling somewhere on the futon, neutral ground. Boothill clarifies that no, it doesn't bother him. But he can't feel any of it. He only knows he's doing it because he can see the motion out of the corner of his eye. Dan Heng doesn't need to go through the extra effort to do things for him like he would someone with a normal human body.
And Dan Heng goes quiet, just long enough that Boothill gets curious and turns to look at him over his shoulder. He has the cute little furrow between his brows, like when he's thinking.
And then he opens that pretty mouth of his and says, "That's alright, I think I'm doing it for myself, anyway" and Boothill nearly wheezes because wow, Dan Heng is almost never quite that honest when it comes to himself fdklsajlkd
Boothill cackles in surprise and asks point blank what he means, because what could he be getting out of that? Given the implied permission, Dan Heng's hand starts it's usual route again. Side, chest, solar plexus, abdomen, side. Boothill can practically hear him chewing on his words.
"I like that you're warm," is what he finally says, and Boothill suddenly feels like a bullet has just grazed something vital. "All the processes you run increase your temperature," Dan Heng's hand fans out across a span of steel and he holds it there, like he's soaking up the heat. "And your metal is smooth, it feels pleasant to touch," his fingertips move in circles, slip into a divot perfectly sized, rub back and forth. Boothill silently wills one of his cooling fans threatening to open up to stay closed.
"I like how you feel under my hands. That's all." Headshot! No recovery possible.
"...Suit yerself, then," and Boothill quickly turns back over before Dan Heng can see it in his face, how close he just hit to his heart.
#honkai star rail#henghill#bootheng#hsr dan heng#hsr boothill#pardon me I read a really really good porno this morning and was feeling inspired fjdklasjfkld#Look soft fuzzy super plush things are my faves- but nice smooth metal is so so nice too.#you know those fidget toys that are silky smooth material and they just have like a perfect little divot to rub the pad of your thumb into?#that's the kind of thing I'm getting at.#plus. plus!!#Dan Heng seems to dislike the cold. And we see why in 2.4 when he comments that the Shackling Prison is as cold as he remembers it.#And Dan Heng sleeps in the archive for a reason. he likes the sense of security in there.#it's a huge deal for him after being so violently hunted for so long#and I love the thought that Boothill reminds him of that. He's warm and he whirs and he's made of metal like some of the machinery in there#Dan Heng likes that regardless of whether he realizes why or not.#he likes to touch him. he just likes how he feels <3#and I think that would be something important to Boothill too because like. I don't think he HATES his body or anything.#but he didn't exactly get it under happy circumstances. and he does consider his human body as a toll that had to be paid.#he refers to any malfunctions as frightening to other people in one of his parlor car lines.#he refers to himself as a man already dead.#So I think it would hit a little harder than Boothill's prepared for to hear Dan Heng not only doesn't mind but even likes his body as it i#they're so sweet I love them so much uweh#hsr#dan heng#boothill#my fics

Leonard 'Cold As Ice' Snart: Huh. It's been almost twenty minutes since I explained to a murderer just how much Flash and I like each other. I better do something about that.
#leonard snart#captain cold#the flash#coldflash#like shipper goggles notwithstanding#this guy fucking loves barry#and will tell anyone who will listen#everyone else must have hated it when len was on the JLA#because he probably did. not. shut. up. about how amazing barry is#kal would be trying to microwave his burrito and jack frost's sugar daddy pops up behind him#so he's already prepared with 'Yes Len. I know you put ten grand on the last race between me and Barry.'#'I'm very glad that you knew that he was going to beat me. No I don't need to hear why for the thirteenth time this week.'#'Oh goodness is that the time? I have to go get a kitten out of a tree.'#green arrow starts in with his usual Anti-Barry stance#and gets backed into a corner by a hockey hooligan dressed like an ice pixie#who gets up in his face and makes him take back every mean thing he ever said about His Flash#under threat of having his fingers frozen and snapped off let's see you fire an arrow now you rich hypocrite

Clemont is just really funny in general i think. he's just like that, realistically theres so much to unpack about him;
he made an entire invention where he spoke to the mayor and was spread out across the town of the uni he was in which he got in at the age of maybe like 8.
he's a gym leader. he lost his gym to his invention,
there was the slightest chance he could've been mind controlled.
his bag is a bag of holding
he can't run
his entire mental state is the way it is because of a single mistake that wasn't even his fault
There's so much to unpack about him and the creators were like; "yeah anyways!"
okay but seriously, i think we as a fandom neglect the fact that if it wasn't for Clemont's anxious(???) paranoid(???) quick thinking(???) overly prepared(???) he probably he would've gotten mind controlled. like what was up with that.
-⚡(you can call me clem anon! its also just really funny and the fact that i've so far only exclusively talked about him makes it even funnier. electric anon is okay too !)
Clemont is his own bag of holding lol, there really is SO MUCH with him and I'm shaking you on the shoulders rn clem nonnie. Please. How is it possible that there is so much to him as it is. I need to study him under a microscope.
With the first point, that always made me laugh in a way lol. Him at the age of possibly eight created a power source slash Electric Pokemon recharger for a whole town/city. The mayor has noticed his efforts. This is before he is a Gym Leader, and this is the place where he made the promise to Shinx (a promise that he broke, not by any fault of his own, but by the very thing that brought them together in the first place).
The way he actually just straight up lived in Prism Tower, or at least that's how it felt, along with Bonnie. Their father is in the same city with a house but they won't bother with that and he doesn't bother them until they are MIA for at the very least a few weeks if not months. His reasoning for being a Gym Leader is to wield Electric Types from every region and become an Electric-Type Trainer that the world has never seen. The fact that he can be this ambitious with battling gets me (and also his learning from school carrying over c':)
His bag is also a mechanical marvel (not Volcanion, sorry). His Aipom Arm has only malfunctioned once (1 time), and he's easily able to lift Bonnie into the air with it. Also we never see this beyond the first ep but it has an inflatable airbag??? That is actually safe and comfortable to land on even with the everything in his bag as it is.
Even after the whole series and after everything they've ever went through, he still cannot run. Only one time he has ever sprinted ahead (in this realm/dimension) and that was to get to a festival about Zapdos of all Pokemon (and maybe that inventing fair as well??). No one comments on it beyond that one moment. He's also tried to make shoes to help him go up hills quicker but he never tried that one again lol (he forgot he even had it until Serena mentions the monorail, in which also, wow. this gang i swear).
That's actually one of the saddest parts (and something I can totally relate with). The way that we see him so happy and open with Shinx beforehand, ready to learn and be hands on and playing outside even with all the work that he had. And then we hear about how he lost his Gym, how his Pokemon disregard his words and his invention doesn't see him as worthy or strong enough, and it really is him just living out a nightmare of his own making in a way. His fear from back then keeps haunting him with the mistakes that he makes now, and even after meeting with Luxio again you can see the way he just... accepts that he's no longer wanted or forgiven. He's fine with it. He rather everyone have a better life than he does. Just,, he needs a hug. Lots of them.
HELP PLS you've said exactly what I've been thinking off this whole time!! Geez, I thought I was alone in thinking that we brush off whatever happened to Clemont in 'The Needs of Many!' like I get that we lose Greninja, but hello? He got straight-up kidnapped right in front of our eyes! He was going to be made into a superhuman (which has some very very worrying connotations beyond what is already happening). He too was blasted by the Mega Evo Energy, and even if he did resist the mind control, there's got to be other effects as well. If his friends weren't OP and reckless as they were he would've actually been carted away to who knows where and it would've been a matter of time until his preventive measures were found out. And the way he already had a counter against it, against the beam specifically (and for it to be able to work without any issues) is also so sad and worrying in a way?? It's definitely paranoia to me, it was very specific (more than usual, anyways), small enough to hide and easy enough for him to grab. Poor boy :(( I need to just sit down and think every time I remember this is an ep that exists because they just went ham with it, didn't they??
#wooo clem (/electric) anon it is!! such a powerful title btw you've just claimed ownership of a whole character lol :P#also 'so far'?? this means that you may go on to branch out beyond clem and that scares as well as intrigues me /lh :3c#apparently bonnie knew that he evolved heliolisk with a sun stone but hasn't seen evo until the spewpa ep gets me#clem also has that ds map thing that looks very similar to what cilan had i think#i mean he's also quick-thinking and overly prepared but he did not miss a beat with the whole thing#i'm constantly thinking of this ep btw. easily one of the strangest and scariest imo#find it also weird bc of course it's adapting the games with xerosic trying to make a superhuman post-xy#but (a) he hates clem and it was targetted (b) obvs the beam and (c) no looker (or emma) :(#but ig the hardest part for me is just that the anime makes xerosic completely irredemable. he's down bad for lys's ambitions#while in the games he's just there to be there. instead it's malva who's all for lysandre and his dreams (yeah they swapped)#i have no idea if i should keep them anime-wise (which means so much tweaking! and also very hard to get emma in then)#or lean more game-wise. because they are very much opposites#but also old men having beef with clem is very funny lol#like i still remember dark clembot guy. what was his deal?? i mean i doubt many ppl even know anything about it#anyways back to clem. i find that his reason to be a gym leader to be a lot more self-serving than i would've expected#yeah he wants to be good as a trainer but what about other trainers? being a gym leader means testing them#not just testing yourself. if he really wanted that he could've just struck out on his own#but it is easier to stay in one place and let challengers come to you#still. makes sense why he burnt out so easily on that end. and made a robot to fixate on challengers in such a way too#to make up for his own disinterest in them#LOOK i can get to the whole clembot thing later. i'm like 3 fics away then you can see me all ramble to death about it#because i've got a million thoughts on it#sadly the whole luxio ep is going to be a million light years away :/#we don't get much fo a timeline for clem so we don't know much about him#but presumably he got all of his gym mons after leaving shinx#and also at some point in his life he helped make the power plant???#i can never get out of my head how he just dives in front of ash to take luxio's thunder fang point-blank#(i mean he's learning off ash but i don't think that's the right thing to learn heh)#and the way he tells her 'i'll be your grounding' like AUGH? my heart? is there even a point? (the way he'll take anything from her)#anyways got too many thoughts about him. have barely scatched the surface as it is lol

It's 32°C and I need to prepare a presentation I'm giving tomorrow.
So many regrets. I didn't have to do a presentation, I wanted to. I didn't have to wait until the last day before the due date to start prepping. But I did and I did. And the universe decided to add the fucking 32°C for extra suck I guess.
#it's about the gender census and why I think it's cool and important#just a lil 20 minute ''this is what it is'' and ''let's look at the trends you can see over time''#I will literally just fucking rephrase the faq because it turns out everything i want to say is in the faq already#and then I will make the others look at some excerpts from the latest report#because again guess what the thing I found most interesting is also a thing the person who runs it finds interesting so it putting in the#report. I know I literally could just tell people to go look at the website#but I know my fellow students. They ain't gonna do that. (Just like I don't do it either for so so many websites mentioned in lessons)#So I am gonna give that damn presentation and the whole fucking style is gonna be a ''come on take my hand and look at the thing it's ok''#and then a ''wasn't that interesting? let's talk about it!'' discussion starter#nothing big. also not graded. Just a ''Bo gets to talk for 20 minutes about a cool thing and nobody is allowed to tell them to shut up''#But when it's 32° fucking C my brain is not good at preparing this very easy not-much-prep-needed presentation#because it's too damn warm

im really normal about them <- lie
#ace attorney#mia fey#diego armando#miego#lorillee.png#THATS RIGHT BABY. AFTER -um . hold on. *checks notes* - SIX MONTHS. LORILLEE IS BACK WITH PHOTOSHOP ART 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥#every now and again i like to put effort into something just to remind everybody that i can actually draw#well i say that but to be honest i put a lot of effort into those ms paint ''diego fey REAL'' doodles#but half of that is just because humans are a . something. to draw. and urban backgrounds are my worst nemesis#and also trying to work with ms paint to like slightly transform things is an incredible pain in the behind#anyways. yeagh 😎👍 behold the power of miego. getting me to actually finish something in photoshop for the first time in months#anyways. ive discovered the secret to getting me to draw stuff on photoshop. prepare yourselves accordingly#what i need to do is sketch & line something in ms paint. and then directly trace it over into photoshop#and then i can go ham#see because the reason i never did this before was because i would sketch things in ms paint#and try to line them in photoshop and it simply Wouldnt Work.#so i had assumed that if i wanted to draw in photoshop id have to sketch in it first. yknow. which i cannot do for some reason#something about the way the pen feels and the . its like the smoothing setting is on even when its on 0 percent. you know. anyways#but with this one i drew mia in ms paint as per usual . and i wanted to mess around with color & light#and i triedddd to do it in ms paint but unfortunately as you can probably imagine. doing stuff like this without layer filters#can get a little difficult. if you know what youre doing its obviously going to be easier but that being said i do not#when i pick colors i am literlaly just wildly guessing ��🙏 which is fine for more straightforward coloring/shading#but not quite here. which is why i wanted to take a stab at it in the first place#so anyways i was like FINE WHATEVER and tried tracing the lineart in photoshop so i could take a stab at coloring in there#and i was . enlightened. (no pun intended). it WORKS#so anyways . you may actually be able to expect. some photoshop art from me#well ok thats a lie never expect art from me. but we can all dream together#anyways they really are the star-crossed doomed by the narrative romance ever. everything to me

here are some pixie designs (and Cupid) i was messing around with for an AU that's consumed my entire soul. i like to think that there are differences between the pixies, even if it is funny they mostly look the same.
the "nicknames" are what Cupid calls them. Pearce/Ink was a last minute addition but he's probably my favorite of the bunch (aside from Sanderson of course). i think the most embarrassing thing is i actually have more pixie OCs in other AUs. they're very special to me.
#fairly oddparents#fop head pixie#fop sanderson#fop cupid#fop pixies#fop fanart#my art#tar pit trap au#in case i decide to post more of it#i was listening to heart-shaped box when i first made the au#'why does cupid have a womb tattoo' don't ask questions you aren't prepared to hear the answer to#it starts out with HP/Cupid but the endgame is Sanderson/Cupid#because sanderson x cupid means the WORLD to me#cupid is filipino cause i said so#this entire au spawned because i was drawing crackship fankids. i made an HP/Cupid kid and then lost control of myself#i don't think twt is prepared for how fcked up my mind can be so i'm not gonna elaborate too much on this au#do you know how many ns/fw drawings i've done for this au. with no one and no where to share. heartbreaking.#the pixies are my favorite things ever if it wasn't obvious#pearce has more tattoos. i just haven't thought of them yet.

I forget about Ashley's (judgemental )"You don't believe in God?" comment because it just feels so out of place in Mass Effect and it's the only mention of human religion period in the entire series I think.
Like it's an incredibly annoying thing for her to say but also I have a dozen follow up questions that mass effect isn't remotely prepared to grapple with
#Shepard: Only for the bad things.#Ashley does not otherwise come across as a god-fearing woman. Is the thing.#I know why they aren't prepared to grapple with it but they shouldn't have brought it up then.#And I'm honestly not sure why they did. It could be world-building but again it's not ever mentioned by anyone else#I'm weirdly more critical of Suvi despite her being even more vague about her beliefs because she exists in a later game#And well. Casually tries to insist creationism is self-evident.#And then complains about having to always justify her beliefs. Which is the real sore spot now that I think about it.#I don't recall what Ashley says if you say you don't believe in god but i doubt it's anything too bad

There's something about say doing a whole bunch of laundry or hand washing all your dishes after cooking a large meal when you're twenty that brings me this strange childlike joy and sense of accomplishment when I do it
It's like sure, I did this stuff prior to adulthood, but that was out of obedience to my mother. Now I am an adult living on my own and now I am doing these things because I have to for me and only me and have to willingly choose to do them
And it's like wow I did it I'm so grown up!
#its like yay i did it! then i can here my mother saying good now go do the four other things you need to do#because she is the type of person who is can't stop won't stop so like she doesn't often understand that for me doing even like one big#thing in the day its like it's the only thing on my mind because i have to like prepare myself to do it#i also am baffled when i see people in college who its their first time doing chores and shit#like it was expected for me to do this stuff as a kid and if my mom said to do something you do it right away#which makes my mom sound intense but like she wasn't super authoritarian in her parenting and she allowed for kvetching whining and trying#to negotiate given that you still did as told#also my mother's jewish and her job is contract negotiation so she is impossible to win an argument against#also from what i hear about gen alpha like damn they do not respect their parents like what the fuck#like its insane#also people getting money for doing household chores. my mom doesn't believe in rewarding someone for doing what is expected of them#but she periodically of course would give me money for stuff or buy me stuff so it works out#and like i know people complain about gen z's work ethic but my sisters and i have always been praised for ours#since doing your 110% and what you're expected to do and more was something taught to us early on. it's your duty to do so so you do it#nothing is for incentive#my mom has very high standards#idk why i felt like putting all of this in the tags#i guess since i was raised to give my 110% it makes tasks feel daunting and when theres no one to ensure i do them it takes a lot#of self motivation and since it feels so hard i guess its why it feels like when you're a kid and you're doing something for the first time#and you're not sure you can do it but you did and it's like yay!

so i took my car in today because i thought it might just need some more brake fluid and although i tried to just look at it myself i couldn't for the life of me figure out which part under the hood was the brake fluid reservoir without having to lean all over my car and get all dirty, so i figured i might just have to pay a service fee and whatever for the fluid itself...
turns out i need all new brake pads !!
ahaha
haha
ha
yay
#i swear to god it's like my car knows whenever it's tax time#like 'hey can i have some money pwease? pweaaaaase just a thousand dollars for new brakes pretty pwease?!'#i guess!!!!!!#i kinda need 'em#jokes on you though because i haven't even filed my taxes yet#i'm gonna have to wait until next week when i get paid but they said i should be able to drive on them for maybe another month as they are#i had other stuff i was gonna do today but given the circumstances i decided to just park my ass back at home#mostly i've been trying to do some ~research of the local libraries to prepare for school which is starting....soon#but i'll just have to postpone my research for the time being#it's funny too because i was watching a tiktok the other day of 'what to do if your breaks fail'#i even almost scrolled past it but something told me to go back and watch#and now i guess i know why#fortunately i haven't had to use that information just yet#but dear god today whenever i put on the breaks it sounds like thunder#just a terrible sound for a car to make#prior to that all that happened was my break light kept coming on whenever i accelerated#it would go off once i'd been rolling for a little bit or sometimes if i'd ease off the gas and then accelerate again#and when i tried to research it myself that's where i got the break fluid thing from#really hoped it was going to be that simple but it never is!!#that's just the rules!!#so anyway that's how my weekend's starting off#not great tbh but it could be a lot worse so i'm just gonna be grateful this is something i can fix#(even if i really don't want to)#and just move on with it and hope nothing else tears up on this goddamn car#because it wasn't that long ago i had to take it in for something else so....#if i could go like....mmm a year maybe before i need any more expensive ass repairs i'd really appreciate it#tires i'm looking you straight in the eye don't you even think about it#i did have my follow up with my urologist today also and they did another x-ray#she said she doesn't see the stone anymore so i believe it did in fact pass so that's some good news !!#we're just gonna keep an eye on the one that's on the other side and still in my kidney
